The new principles on which pis Society is founded bring the benefits of Life Assurance, hitherto almost exclusively confined to the upper classes, within the reach of all. It provides against the contingency of misfortune during life, as well as against the risk of death; and even affords to the Assured a fund out of his premiums on which he can at any time operate, as his circumstances may re quire. It thus affords to the industrious and prudent of all classes the greatest facilities and most powerful encouragement to lay up a certain provision for the future. Among other advantages the Assured will enjoy the following: 1. Moderate rates of Premium consistent with security; be sides the guarantee of half a million of capital. 2. No entry-money. 3. Power of converting the policy at any time into a payment in cash—a new policy —or immediate—or deferred Annuity. 4. After five years, two-thirds of payments on elapsed policies, returnable at death. 5. The Assured, on complying with the conditions of the office, may, at any time, borrow two-thirds of all previous payments, and the amount of any declared bonus. 6. Two-thirds of the entire profits on the Life Assurance, and on the investment of the Guarantee Fund, divided annually among the insured, and at their option paid in cash, added to policy, or applied in reduction of future premiums. 7. Gre it facility in effecting insurances—Premiums payable by one payment, or Annually, Half-yearly, Quarterly, or Monthly, or on the increasing or decreasing scale. 8. Females assured at one year less than their actual ages. 9: Relaxation of restrictions on travelling beyond the limits of Eurore, except to places specially enumerated and a policy in force seven years not forfeited by suicide.

By the operation of the same new principles, the Society is en abled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the contribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may secure either a comfortable prevision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death. _ . ..... The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings ranks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer and more profitable application of their savings. This Society is tnabled by judicious and accurate calculations to afford a Deferred Annuity of a muck greater amount than has hitherto been offered, besides the option of exchanging this annuity, when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a Still larger Policy payable without premiums at death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the annuity's commencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-thirds of his payments will be returned to Isis representatives. The purchaser has also the power of converting, on equal terms, his deferred into a present annuity. The following table is a specimen of the great and v'aried l ad vantages which the judicious application of a small saving can se cure through this Society. SPECIMENS OF DEFERRED ANNUITIES. BENEFITS.

The profits are divided at the end of every succeeding term of five years; which the assured have the option of taking either in reduction of their payments of Premium, or of having them added to the sum assured by their Policy. The rates of Assurance are lower than at most other offices, in which the assured are allowed to share the profits. Annuities are granted and purchased.

The Annuities are payable half-yearly in London to the order of Annuitants, without the expense of a power of attorney, the signa ture to such order being witnessed by some respectable person on the day it bears date. The benefit arising from the Exchange of a portion of Property from the Stocks to the purchase of an Annuity, needs scarcely any explanation. An individual whose income from the Funds is scanty, might with great advantage sell out a portion, which at the present prices of Stocks would purchase a considerable increase of income, and yet reserve sufficient disposablF property to answer all the pur poses of a legacy, &c. &c. For instance, a person aged sixty-five would, for a sum which in the Funds only produces 41., purchase an Annuity for life of more than 131. 10s. Proposals for the purchase of Annuities must contain the name, age, description, and occupation of the parties on whose life the Annuity is required, together with the particulars of when and where baptized, or other evidence of age. Proper forms for such proposals may be had from Ten till Three daily, at the principal Office, 5, Lanzaster-place, Strand, London, and of any of the Country Agents.

" This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his sin gular success under circumstances that would have induced despair in any professor of less . mastery, or less accustomed to accomplish cures where cures seem impossible. The statements here made are most convincing, and place beyond doubt the superiority of the treatment to which they refer."—Court Journal, August, 1837. ust published, the Seventh Edition, of 1,000 ench, AGUIDE TO FAMILY DEVOTION ; containing 730 Hymns, 730 Prayers, and 730 Portions of Scripture ; with su it a bl e Reflections.

An Edition on Royal Paper, `i• TESTIMONIALS OF MINISTERS IN FA YOUR OF THE WORK. " I consider it a vast advantage to persons who begin house keeping, if unaccustomed to extemporaneous prayer, to have such a help to devotion as your work affords. Mr. Philip Henry used to remark, 6 those who prayed in their families did well; those who prayed and read the Scriptures did better ; but those who prayed and read and sang, did best of all.' I admire therefore your plan, which combines these parts of worship, where, if a suitable hymn cannot, through circumstances, be sung, it may be said.' Many especially females, have felt considerable difficulty in conducting family worship, for want of a selection of Scriptures adapted to fa mily reading, this difficulty your work meets, and cannot but be appreciated by a large class of the Christian community. The work appears to me to be executed devotionally, which, in my opi nion, is a strong recommendation of its excellency. With many sincere wishes for its success, J. SHERMAN." " I have been particularly pleased with the adaptation of the several hymns, portions of Scripture, and prayers to each other. The general character of the whole is excellent ; and I trust the work will be found eminently useful in the promotion of domestic piety. That result will doubtless be esteemed by you an ,ample reward for the labour you must have expended." JAMES PARSONS. " I regard this Guide' as eminently calculated to lead on to the fulfilment of that prophecy, 6 Elijah shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.' Much both of the mantle and the spirit of Elijah has fallen upon the author of this timely work.' ROBERT PHILIP " The evangelical strain of the prayers gives them an advantage over most other forms which have been published for families : I which mean, t n h o e t y o a n r l e y h e a s a e d v , o h tt t r i t o f theev a frequentnge i feelingaddresses an r‘ d .h m i iv a r e e w i i , t l l - 1 t t h e r a m t i y n e g a l e r d t abo o eaarcah willD iy i l n e e a d Pe m rs a o n n y of fa n t i b i e l i e T s r i t u a n a e I .J:ll c o t v i eaahi. use l t r r u n s d t H PRATT. enjoyment of the glorious privileges of the G .Toospseil.A" " I am enabled to speak with propriety and confidence of the real worth and admirable adaptation to usefulness of your work. I have used it much in my own family, and I can truly say that as I advance it grows in my esteem. You have rendered a most im portant service to Christian households by your labours, and I have no doubt that its circulation will be as extensive as your most san guine expectations could anticipate." THOS. RAFFLES. I feel it right to express my opinion that the plan is excellent, and that the execution of the plan is judicious, and well adapted to its purpose, as an aid to the great duty and blessing of family, con jugal, and secret worship." J. PYE SMITH. On examination, I am much pleased with it (' A Guide to Family Devotion'), and feel, when I am called to leave my family, that I leave for its use a good substitute behind me." T. BINNEY. " I highly prize your volume of Family Devotions,' and think it well adapted to secure the objects to which you aspire. The Selections of Scripture are judicious • the Sacred Songs which you have introduced are appropriate and diversified ; the Reflectiofis and forms of Prayer are short, simple, and calculated to impress the minds of children and servants; and as a whole, I think the work is likely to prove a valuable aid to the piety of households."

" We cannot," says one of our leading Reviewers, .‘ but re gard Mr. Kidd as the MOST successful of modern Publishers ; and when we take into consideration the immense number, as well as the great and interesting (we may add, extraordinary) variety of the publications—no two of them being in any way alike—that have emanated from his fertile pen, we knew not which to admire most, his tact or his talent. The handsome manner in which the respective books are got up, and the low prices at which they are issued, effectually prevent competition, both at home and abroad ; and prove their proprietor to be an. able General' in every sense of the word. * Mr. Kidd has courted popularity, and he has long sinee,obtained it in (we believe) every quarter of the globe." • KIDD'S New Catalogue of more than 200 Choice Books is now ready, and may be had of the Proprietor, W.
